Yasya is a 7 year old from Russia. She is presently a contestant on The Voice Kids Russia.She has a tragic story as she was involved in a very serious automobile accident and had be taught to walk again. Yasya's first performance on the Voice Kids Russia has over 2 million views on YouTube in a week.

How sweet is that? I finally got on the vk.com. Gosh, there are a million of those Russians with the same name. Like looking for John Smith here in the USA. LOL! BTW-- she now has 3,595,054 views on her Blind Audition----Sooo-- I guess we are not the only ones that like her. I did watch that video several times, but not that many.

Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, it's not in English but well worth the effort to translate it. This is an extract about her accident by her mother. Her father left the family straight after the accident.

After the accident I was left alone with Yasey on hands (with her husband in ravzode Olesya - Ed.), It was hard. And we moved to the Rostov region to the mother. The accident happened on the road, driving his father was Yasi. On the way, we flew to open, broken glass, Yasyu greatly injure. Doctors all night saved her life: an open head injury, closed fractures, internal injuries, severely damaged eye. While we were in the hospital, they staged mini-plays, learned to read. In fact, it was wildly painful to see her in pain. On the eve of New Year Yasya asked of Christmas trees gift "to the legs started to go." At the hospital, where there were many heavy children, Yasha and sang for them. When her feet, walked through the wards and sing for those who can not stand up. And then he told me: "Mom! They were so excited! I'm so glad that I can for them to do something. "

- I have to see the first broadcast in Yasechku "Voice" advertising. The first impression - crawl. Unusual feeling. And as the air show as solid tears! And why her voice is so fascinating? Olesya daughter graduated from music school. They Yasey with similar voices, very powerful. Every day they rehearse, sung. Although the crash Olesya was severely crippled herself, she was sewn up by half an eye, but most of the time she was still devoted Yasa. The situation has tempered her. Even when I could not hold back tears, looking at her, she said: "Grandma, do not cry! Everything will be fine". Of course, she has a favorite toy, without which it will not go to bed. On "The Voice," she took a pillow with a monkey. In general, Yasha is blessed in the church cross and bracelet. They have it and store.

OMG! Thanks for finding that and translating it Bruce! :( :( :( :( What an unbelievable story! No wonder she has nearly 5 million YouTube hits. She is a Miracle Child! I want her to win something SO bad!Like I have said before the show needs to give her special attention and if they do, I hope they put it on YT.

Thanks for that information we well, Bruce! Very interesting and also sad that she had to go through all that. I don't know why her dad left when she needed him the most, that makes it even more sad.

Definitely a special little girl and I hope being on the show leads to some really great openings and opportunities for her. I still think at 7 she is too young to handle the pressure of winning though. But it will be very interesting to see how things play out.

I can't explain this. Yasya now has 6,085,939 views on her Blind Audition. That is nothing to sneeze at. After the initial shock of a 7 year old kid singing on a show like that, you would think it would have dropped off. Not all know her story. I think there is more to it. Why so many views? No one on the show has near the same amount of views. What can they do with her in the Battle Rounds? Or does it matter? A favorite for sure! Sympathy? Age? Sex? Personality? Talent? What is it?I am totally rooting for her! Not so much to win, but for one of the things mentioned.

I've been thinking about this as well and I've come up with a couple of possibilities.Firstly, she is very cute she sings well and with feeling.Secondly, the song. It is one of Viktor Tsoi's. I have read a bit about him and found that he was a rock singer with a huge following. His songs were radical at the time and directed mainly against the ideals of the USSR. Tsoi was killed in a car accident in 1990 before the USSR was dissolved in 1991. He was 28 and is still regarded as a hero in Russia. Maybe people see some sort of similarity with the fact that Yasya was almost killed in an mva. The song was also in the soundtrack of the film "Battle for Sevastopol" which apparently was a hit in Russia last year. In the film it was sung by Polina Gargarina and has almost 20 million views on yt. I expect that Yasya's video might surpass that figure, especially if she wins the voice. I read recently, in someone's blog, they suggested she may even get more views than Laura from Germany's kids voice in 2013 who currently has almost 85 million.

Charlie, after the battle rounds the five winners dress up in the clothes they wore to the BAs and sing their BA song again. Then the mentor choses the two to go through to the final. That was Yasya's performance after she won the battle round. (same clothes, different hair, didn't miss the first words of the song)
